Let the mental gymnastics begin.

Exactly, that's how I understood bible scripture to explain the Universe which is why I can't understand how the poster suggests some interpretation equates to the modern known size or age of the Universe.

That is not a known law of nature. There are no "predesigned" limits that we know of for the universe. Give me an example where this pattern is seen.

I was interested in what you were hinting with your statement "wonder how the writer could possibly have know that .hmmm". This suggests some great insight to me. Also, you shouldn't be so dismissive of science without reading each subject, it most definitely does not employ guesswork - it's...

What exactly does the bible say about the age or size of the Universe?

...see evidence of signs of life, past or present, elsewhere in the Universe.

I'm struggling to see what your point is Messy?

Seems like a contradiction in terms to me. How is taking your phone in and out of your pocket to text a friend less of a risk than taking your phone in and out of your pocket to play a game?

The whole prayer thing just seems so ridiculous to me. Let's say two people go to interview for the same job and both are devout Christians who don't know each other. Both ask friends and family to pray to god that they get the job because it will change their life immeasurably. One gets the...

I've not been in that situation but if it did happen then I would respond according to our relationship. If I felt it was condescending then I have a choice of confronting, pretending I didnt hear or walk away. Depends on who it is (how it's delivered) and what I think the impact of my response...

It's not something that I hear very much round here but it all depends on the situation. All my friends know my stance on gods and prayer so even the religious amongst them refrain from praying for me (at least to my face). If it was someone that doesn't know me too well who passed an innocent...

There are medical cases where people have made recoveries, I don't go any further than assume that some natural cause was involved. You, on the other hand will invoke god (coincidentally the very same god as those involved believe in) as having stepped in to make things right.

Please. Fingers pop out from what, his ears? Nose? If this is the sort of thing you believe in on this forum, I'm not sure it's the place for me. I notice nobody has questioned this ridiculous claim so far which is equally as astonishing. Please tell me you don't actually buy into tales like...

So do you have a degree or a PhD? What is your field of research? Simple questions Josiah. Why won't you just answer this simple question, that's all I'm asking.

Just answer the question please for my benefit.

So do you have a degree or a PhD? What is your field of research? Simple questions Josiah.

You've repeatedly quoted your education and current work in scientific research in support of your theistic arguments in this forum and I would like you to back that up with some evidence. If you're not happy to tell me detail of your PhD then fair enough, at least respond and tell me that you...

Josiah, could you tell me what your PhD was and what your field of research is in please?

What was your PhD and what's your field of research?

OK. I think I need to go get a large glass of Jack.
